back in my day, you posted about your life in your geocities website! And you wrote the html on notepad and had to include an animated gif that told people to email you, cause that was the style at the time.
If you had Office you could use Microsoft Office FrontPage
Some people still do on Neocities

Eh, back when GeoCities was still a thing, most people were too busy actually having a life to regularly post about it online. Since this was before smartphones, updating a social media profile was a lot more complicated and time-consuming.
Having an active social media profile back then was often a red flag that a person was more “talk” than “walk“.

Unironically, that’s usually what most geocities pages were about
Exactly.
I wrote HTML in EDIT, but my first webserver ran on an OpenVMS Alpha workstation.
